Using the mature media is the only way to speed up the process and increasing the temperature.

Have you read the article on fishless recycling? See link below

480 litres is alot and there is loads of things you could stock it with. what do you like. i think some rainbowfish would look cool.

 

[angelfishguy]

i have a list above with the fish i would like to stock it with but not sure if they will go with each other
any advice?

I'm pretty sure kribs can be very aggressive during spawning if they pair up... so that's something to think about (though I've never kept kribs myself)

The only other problem I could see would be that the corys and tetras may struggle at 28 degrees, which is the temperature that you should, in theory, keep the rams at.

Looks like a really nice set-up you've got planned though.

Nice tank you got there,are you going to add more plants in it,rummy nose tetra and angelfish need acidic water in order for them to thrive.

 

[angelfishguy]

yeah more plants will be going in, some sword plants and whatever else i can get my hands on..
does anyone know of any plants that will grow low and spread...
